Shower towel and toilet paper holders were broken, Reading everything Sonder at 5th had posted on their website I was ready to book. They mentioned there might be construction noise but failed to mention the bar across the street would be having live outdoor concerts all night. It was very obvious this was an issue due to the fact it went on from check-in till midnight. I'm sure this happens every weekend to the guests that stay on that side of the hotel. If I would have known I would have never booked there. I ended up having to go get ear plugs at 10:30 pm.

Don’t be fooled people this is not a resort. This is one floor of an apartment complex “done over“ as rental condos. The place is filthy, I can’t name all of the things that were broken in the room, management did nothing except to try to bend The sofa bed back into shape by using a chair. Not a single tool, a chair. it. The Entryway is filthy And smells like garbage as the dumpster is right near the door. Gross and disappointing please do not spend your money.

Difficulty with check in process. The site was glitching and had to reset passwords in attempt to check in and the customer service phone reps can't check you in or assist with this much sadly. There's no on site person and the customer service isn't in the area so doesn't know much about parking. The second gentleman we spoke to was more helpful than the first. After a few calls we were finally able to complete check in. Aside from difficulty checking in and finding adequate parking the property was cute with a nice pool. Convenient for the East side night life with a lot of options you can walk to. The fob did not work and there were no pool code instructions. Luckily another patron opened the gate for us.

The unit was large, and I liked that we had two separate bedrooms. Everything worked well and it looked nice. The shower and the shower curtain were covered in mold. We had to share the shower in the one bedroom based on this. Also, the site states that there are no pets allowed, yet I saw many people with large dogs who were staying on the property. I would likely stay at a Sonder property again, but check for cleanliness.

Wish parking was easier for the stay— needing to find parking 3 streets down or paying for expensive parking wasn’t the most ideal— I think a fixed nightly rate would have been preferred like other hotels

Great value to stay in East Austin. Clear communication and the app made finding the info for check in easy. Having a pool in the heat wave was huge. Place was standard small condo but with some nice decorating choices, we thought. Everything worked and it felt like a place you could stay longer and enjoy the full kitchen.

I frequently stay in hosted apartments/condos with my family while visiting Austin. This was hands down my favorite. The unit was very clean and well stocked. The location was absolutely perfect. Numerous options for breakfast lunch or dinner within walking distance as well as retail and grocery. We will be booking again!!
